plastic to break the contact. Do not touch the victim with bare hands to avoid the
risk of electrifying yourself.
2. Unplug the risk of faulty equipment. If the main circuit breaker is accessible, turn
the circuit off.
3. If the victim is unconscious, start resuscitation immediately, use your hands to
press the chest in and out to continue breathing function. Use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation if necessary.

Precautions (In case of Fire)

 Turn the equipment off. If the power switch is not immediately accessible, take
plug off.
 If fire continues, try to curb the fire if possible, by using the fire extinguisher or by
covering it with a heavy cloth if possible isolate the burning equipment from the
other surrounding equipment.

Experiment Number -1
AIM: To prepare a sheet of alphabets, numbers, types of lines and scales.

APPARATUS USED : Drawing board, blank full size sheet, mini drafter, geometry
box, H, 2H pencils.

THEORY: The sample alphabets are given in the lab manual as provided. The
alphabets are drawn on blank sheet in upright position and at an angle with the
vertical. The space between the two alphabets is kept constant. The letters are drawn
both in upper case and lower case. Similarly, the numbers are drawn from 0 to 9 with
regular spacing between them. Similarly, a description of lines has to done in tabular
form including information like type of line, representation and its application. It is
not convenient, always, to draw drawings of the objects in actual size. E.g. Buildings,
Heavy Machines, bridges, watches etc. Hence scales are used to prepare drawing at
• Full size • Reduced Size • Enlarged size

A scale is defined as the ratio of the linear dimensions of the object as represented in a
drawing to the actual dimensions of the same.

Title Block:

The title block should lie within the drawing space at the bottom right hand
comer of the sheet. The title block can have a maximum length of 170 mm
providing the following information. 1. Title of the drawing. 2. Drawing
number. 3. Scale. 4. Symbol denoting the method of projection. 5. Name of
the firm, and 6. Initials of staff, who have designed, checked and approved.
The title block used on shop floor and one suggested for students class-work
is shown in fig;

Engineering Graphics and Design Lab (BCE 251) Semester (II) AY 2022-23

The following are some of the guide lines for lettering

1. Drawing numbers, title block and letters denoting cutting planes, sections are
written in 10 mm size.
2. Drawing title is written in 7 mm size.
3. Hatching, sub-titles, materials, dimensions, notes, etc., are written in 3.5 mm size.
4. Space between lines = ~ h.
5. Space between words may be equal to the width of alphabet M or 3/5 h.
6. Space between letters should be approximately equal to 1/5 h. Poor spacing will
affect the visual effect.

The spacing between two characters may be reduced by half if h is given a better visual
effect, as for exampleLA, TV; over lapped in case of say LT, TA etc, and the space is
increased for letters with adjoining stems

CAPITAL Letters
 Ratio of height to width for most of the CAPITAL letters is approximately = 10:6
 However, for M and W, the ratio = 10:8 for I the ratio = 10:2

Lower-case Letters
 Height of lower-case letters with stem I tail (b, d, f, g, h, j, k, I, p, q, t, y) = Cz = c3= h
 Ratio of height to width for lower-case letters with stem or tail = 10:5
 Height of lower-case letters without stem or tail c1 is approximately = (7/10) h
 Ratio of height to width for most lower-case letters without stem or tail = 7: 5
However, for m and w, the ratio = 7: 7. For I and I, the ratio = 10

Principles of Dimensioning:
Some of the basic principles of dimensioning are given below.
1. All dimensional information necessary to describe a component
clearly and completely shall be writtendirectly on a drawing.
2. Each feature shall be dimensioned once only on a drawing, i.e.,
dimension marked in one view need not berepeated in another view.
3. Dimension should be placed on the view where the shape is best seen.
4. As far as possible, dimensions should be expressed in one unit only
preferably in millimeters, withoutshowing the unit symbol (mm).
5. As far as possible dimensions should be placed outside the view.

APPARATUS USED: Drawing board, blank full size sheet, mini drafter, geometry box, H,
2H pencils.

THEORY: The projection is defined as the shadow of any object. A point is a

dimensionless entity hence its projection can be drawn in any of the four quadrants.
There are four types of projections:
1. First angle projection
2. Second angle projection
3. Third angle projection
4. Fourth angle projection
The position of a point in engineering drawing is defined with respect to its distance from the
three principle planes i.e., with respect to the VP, HP, & PP.

PROCEDURE:
 Locate the point in quadrant as per description in the question.
 Draw its front view on VP.
 Draw the top view on HP.
 Rotate the top view by 90 degree clockwise to obtain both FV and TV in the
same vertical lineseparated by a reference line.

known as projection of line

THEORY: Line is the shortest distance between two points is called line. It
has length but negligible thickness.

POSITIONS OF STRAIGHT LINES: The position of straight line in a

space can be fixed if their inclinations with reference planes and distance of
its extremities from the two planes are known. The following are the
important positions which a straight line can take with respect to two reference
planes.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FIRST ANGLE PROJECTION AND THIRD ANGLE PROJECTION:

Experiment Number - 5
AIM: To prepare a sheet of the projections of Section of solids as per description.

APPARATUS USED: Drawing sheets, Complete Engineering Drawing Box, Mini

Drafter, clips.

THEORY: Sections of Solids Sections and sectional views are used to show hidden
detail more clearly. They-are created by using a cutting plane to cut the object.
A section is a view of no thickness and shows the outline of the object at the cutting
plane. Visible outlines beyond the cutting plane are not drawn.
A sectional view, displays the outline of the cutting plane and all visible outlines
which can be seen beyond the cutting plane. Improve visualization of interior features.
Section views are used when important hidden details are in the interior of an object.
These details appear as hidden lines in one of the orthographic principal views;
therefore, their shapes are not very well described by pure orthographic projection.
Types of Section Views
• Full sections
• Half sections
• Offset sections
• Revolved sections
• Removed sections
• Broken-out sections

Cutting Plane : Section views show how an object would look if a cutting plane (or
saw) cut through the object and the material in front of the cutting plane was
discarded.

Representation of cutting plane

According to drawing standards cutting plane is represented by chain line with
alternate long dash and dot. The two ends of the line should be thick.

Full Section View

• In a full section view, the cutting plane cuts across the entire object
• Note that hidden lines become visible in a section view

Hatching: On sections and sectional views solid area should be hatched to indicate this
fact. Hatching is drawn with a thin continuous line, equally spaced (preferably about
4mm apart, though never less than 1 mm) and preferably at an angle of 45 degrees.
